HPV and Cervical Cancer
Dear colleagues,
it is our pleasure to invite you to the symposium on HPV and Cervical Cancer to be
held on July 3rd and 4th in Heidelberg jointly organized by the German Cancer
Research Center (DKFZ) and the Universitätsklinikum Tübingen.
The first half day will be devoted to novel trends in HPV research with an introductory
lecture by Professor Margaret Stanley on the immune biology of human papillomaviruses
as well as with aspects of prevention and immune therapy of HPV infection and
associated diseases.
During the second part we will focus on epidemiology and diagnostics of HPV
infections with special emphasis on screening for the prevention of cervical cancer.
We are glad to announce that we could engage internationally renowned experts
and excellent speakers which will present up-to-date information.
The attendance is free but we wanted to ask you to register in advance.
Looking forward to welcoming you in Heidelberg.
